June Food'N'Flix Announcement: Mistress of Spices

By
from imdb.com

Food‘nFlix
I joined a group this year - Food'N'Flix - where we watch movies and head into the kitchen and cook or bake or make something based on a recipe they actually make in it or just something we were driven to make after watching it.

This month was my pick. And I picked Mistress of Spices, starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Dylan McDermott. 

I apologize for the lateness of this announcement. My son turned 10 on June 1st and we have spent the past few days celebrating and spoiling him. So sorry!

I haven't seen the movie in a few years, but I remember it being a visual feast, seasoned with mysticism and a dash of sensuality. I'm looking forward to watching it again. I can practically smell the cumin, peppers, and ginger that will be wafting from my kitchen for my Mistress of Spices dish!

If you're inclined to join the fun - and I really hope you are - watch the movie and get cooking.

Post about it on your blog with a link back to this post and to Food'N'Flix. Use of the logo is optional.

You must post must be current (during month of film). And of course we don't mind if your post is linked to other events...the more the merrier.

Have fun with it!

    Yay, I'm so excited to watch this film for the first time. I can't believe that I hadn't even heard of it before you announced it as your pick! I am now the proud owner and look forward to being inspired to head into the kitchen. Thanks so much for hosting this month, Camilla =)!

    Great choice! This movie is a favorite of mine and one I own--the book it was based on too. Looking forward to lots of exotic dishes. ;-)

    I am waiting on the USPS to deliver from Amazon (used my free points) but they wouldn't deliver without somebody home? ????? Never had that happened! :)

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
